Ages 4-12

The Adaptive Behavior Evaluation Scale-Third Edition (ABES-3) provides a measure of adaptive behaviors necessary for success in the educational and residential settings that are not measured by academic skills testing. The ABES-3 meets the need for an adaptive behavior rating scale which relies on direct behavioral observations by educators and parents/guardians in educational and residential settings. The ABES-3 is used as a measure of adaptive skills in the identification of intellectually disabled, behaviorally disordered, learning disabled; and visually, hearing, or physically impaired students. The ABES-3 assesses 10 areas of adaptive skills grouped under the three adaptive behavior domains defined in the 10th AAMR Definition of Mental Retardation (AAMR, 2002): Conceptual, Social, and Practical Skills.

The technical manuals include data on internal consistency, test-retest and inter-rater reliability; item and factor analysis; and content, criterion-related, diagnostic, and construct validity.

Characteristics and Components of the ABES-3

  • The ABES-3 is based on the definition of adaptive skills adopted by the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAID, 2010).

  • Factor analysis confirmed the three ABES-3 domains.

  • The ABES-3: 4-12 SV was standardized on 2,012 students ages 4 through 12 years old. 

  • The ABES-3: 4-12 HV was standardized on 1,522 students ages 4 through 12 years old. 

  • The standardization population included students from 17 states, represented all geographic regions of the United States, and closely approximated the 2010 demographic characteristics of the United States.

  • The ABES-3 provides norms based on gender and age (4-12 and 13-18).

  • Internal consistency, item and factor analysis, standard errors of measurement, and test-retest reliability are reported.

The Adaptive Behavior Evaluation Scale-Third Edition: 4-12 Quick Score converts raw scores to standard scores and percentiles which makes scoring efficient and convenient.
